Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>The UN chief cautioned on Thursday that the global response to climate change “remains pitiful,” and emphasized that the world is rapidly heading towards a disaster.<\/p>\n

“Current policies are taking the world to a 2.8 degree temperature rise by the end of the century. That spells catastrophe. Yet the collective response remains pitiful,” said Secretary-General Antonio Guterres at a press briefing.<\/p>\n

Guterres said he is “very worried” about the world’s stance on climate change, and that countries are far off-track in meeting climate promises and commitments.<\/p>\n

“I see a lack of ambition. A lack of trust. A lack of support. A lack of cooperation. And an abundance of problems around clarity and credibility,” he added.<\/p>\n

He criticized the fact that the human rights of climate activists are being trampled and the vulnerable suffers the most.<\/p>\n

“We are hurtling towards disaster, eyes wide open \u2013 with far too many willing to bet it all on wishful thinking, unproven technologies and silver bullet solutions,” said the UN chief.<\/p>\n

Criticizing the countries for undermining the climate agenda, Guterres urged all nations to “rebuild trust based on climate justice” and “accelerate the just transition to a green economy”.<\/p>\n

Limiting the rise in global temperature to 1.5 degrees Celsius is still possible, Guterres noted.<\/p>\n
